Laudator

Space Marines Portal

The Laudator was a Battle Barge of the Celebrants Chapter which took part in the Third War for Armageddon. However, in the openings days of the War, the Laudator was destroyed by the Ork ships of the Warlord Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka. This proved disastrous for the Imperium ships defending Armageddon, as the Battle Barge's destruction left a hole in the kill-box they had established near the Hive World. The Orks eagerly exploited this and eventually broke apart their defensive formation. Hours later, the surviving Imperium ships were forced to temporarily retreat from Armaggedon, and the Orks were able to freely invade the Hive World.^[1]
